Page 32

Thursday May 18th 1899  I ironed this forenoon and did some baking.  I worked all the afternoon making [housing].  Friday May 19th 1899  I got my work done ready to start to town by a little after eight oclock.  I got through so I could go over home by noon.  In the afternoon Mother came to town with me.  It looked like rain and I came home soon.  Mother went home with the girls.  Saturday May 20th 1899  I did baking and the work in the forenoon and in the afternoon I fixed my cape.  Weather very cool and cloudy.  Sunday May 21st 1899  I was busy with the work all forenoon had an early dinner and went up to bring Miss Murphy down  She could not come.  I was over home a little while.  I stopped at Stevens on the way home while it rained some.  Monday May 22nd 1899  I put in so much time with the chickens today I set more hens and took care of my turkeys and ducks that are hatching  I sewed some in the afternoon on my old light sacque I am fixing.
